Why is it.....?
That I'm STILL not happy with my legs? I look in the mirror and I see cottage cheese and flab and it's so frustrating! I'm otherwise pretty dang happy with my body, well, except my now even smaller than before breasts, but that's another story. Anyway I do squats and lunges and when I do the treadmill I do inclines. But to…

Claim Jumper
I know that it's impossible to get an accurate count since they don't provide nutrition info, but we went to Claim Jumper tonight and I got the BBQ Chicken Skewer meal. It has a BBQ chicken skewer with I'm estimating to be at most 6oz of chicken on it, and some bell peppers and onions, about a cup I think of basmati rice,…

exercising with foot injuries (surgery)
Hi all...I'm most likely going to have to have surgery on at least one, possibly both feet in Jan or Feb. I am so paranoid that I'm going to balloon up because I won't be able to do my normal exercise routine. Any ideas for good ways to get in cardio/strength training while I'm healing? Thanks, Megan

Red Lobster question...
Does anyone know if their calorie count on their website for the quick catch lunch includes the side item it comes with? Specifically, I want to get the wood grilled shrimp and chicken lunch and it comes with wild rice pilaf, but I don't know if the rice is included in the calorie count.

Not feeling well...need to rest....but....
I've been feeling like CRAP since Tuesday evening. I feel extremely exhausted, like I took some sleeping pills or something. Don't know if it's related or not but I also have a weird taste in my mouth that won't seem to go away and a strange sensation in my chest, like I'm getting congested or something, but I'm not. I…

Ground Turkey Breast
I have a package of ground turkey breast that I'm planning on using for dinner tonight? Any recipes? I've already tried the Biggest Loser Chipotle Meatloaf one (didn't like it). I usually just make the cooking light egg rolls but I'd like to try something different. Please post any recipes! Thanks!

A little premature but...
I'm 1/2 pound away from my goal! Yeah! I'm very proud of myself for sticking with it...usually I give up after a couple of weeks. Only problem is that now that I'm here, I feel like I need to lose more. But at the same time I'm afraid if I lose too much more I'll have a really hard time maintaining it. I'm celebrating what…

quick questions about eating out
Why is it that we ALWAYS go out to eat when it's someone's birthday? Ugh, that's not my question, it's just frustrating, cause we have a lot of b-days in my family this month and we're going out for ALL of them. This time it's Olive Garden. Does anyone know if they'll give you lunch sized portions for dinner if you request…

Hi all, quick question. Do you all find it much harder to stay within your calories when Aunt Flo is visiting? If so, any pointers on how to get through it? I'm having a heck of a time! All I seem to wanna to is eat!

I need help...
I have been eating about 1500 calories a day. Sometimes I eat some of my excercise calories but somedays not. I work out 4 days a week (my days off). I do treadmill intervals 2 days and then 30 day shred (#1 or #2) the other days. I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet a lot at work on the other 3 days. My weight loss started off…

plateau already?
I'm almost a month into this and I've been stuck at a 6 lb loss for a week now, and I was losing about 2 lbs a week. I'm keeping my calories around 1500/day (a little more on somedays, like super bowl sunday was around 1800-1900), and I try to vary my workouts everyday too. I'll do the 30 day shred #1 one day, a treadmill…

Macaroni Grill
I'm going to Romano's Macaroni Grill tonight for my MIL birthday. This will be my first trip to a regular restaurant since I started watching my calories. I've already looked at the menu online to see what their light options are. There isn't much to choose from! Either grilled chicken with broccoli and asparagus (I don't…

Exercise calories?
I'm confused. I've always heard that one of the big reasons people don't lose weight is that they think that they can eat more calories because they exercised. But I keep reading on here that you have to eat your exercise calories in order to succeed. Which is right?

Entertaining ideas?
I'm going to be having about 25 people in my house next weekend for my sons 2nd b-day party...anyone have any ideas on what to serve? I would normally throw some BBQ beef in the crock pot or something but that's not exactly figure friendly.
